Rihanna first premiered the video for “American Oxygen” on Tidal last week, but now the masses can watch it, too: The history lesson of a music video is now on YouTube.

The video features footage of all kinds of historical events ranging from the good to the bad: Images of mushroom clouds and Martin Luther King, Jr. in his coffin are intercut with video of a spaceship blasting off and the Beatles facing dozens of excited fans. There are also plenty of American flags, including one Rihanna herself sings in front of throughout the video.
